Fur parents often find it a problem to leave their pets behind.

What would you do if your family got mad at your for bailing on a vacation because of your dogs?

This woman was excited about an upcoming beach trip with her family; however, she realized she had no affordable option for her dogs.

She explained her situation to her relatives, but nobody offered to help. Instead, everyone got mad at her.

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for telling my family I can’t come on a weekend trip? No

My family is going on a weekend trip to a beach about 100 miles from me.

We have several family members with homes there, and everyone just finds a place to stay amongst those houses.

I have 2 dogs, and my mom usually watches them if I go away, but she will be on this trip.

This woman was thinking about how to deal with her dogs while they went on the trip.

Dog sitters will run me about $600 for the weekend where I live, and that’s out of budget right now.

I looked at dog-friendly hotels, but since it’s a popular beach destination in summer, rooms start at $550 a night plus $75 per dog.

This is also out of budget.

Eventually, she told them she won’t be able to join them.

There are no pet-friendly AirBnbs within an hour available for the dates everyone is going.

I told my family I won’t be able to make it, because I can’t find affordable dog care right now.

My SO and I also just bought a new house and we’re moving soon, which everyone knows, so we’re trying to keep expenses low.

Her family gave her a hard time for refusing to go.

Everyone gave me a hard time for not being able to go because we just went on a weekend trip to the same place with my SO’s family.

The difference is that my mom wasn’t there, so she watched my dogs for me.

Since everyone was giving me a hard time, I asked my relatives this: Would it be possible to stay at their houses with our dogs crated anytime we aren’t with them (3–4 hours)?

They both said no.

They think it’s unfair that she went with her partner’s family on their trip, but not with them.

So I just said, “Ok, I totally understand. No problem! Maybe next time we can see everyone!”

Now, my family is saying that it’s unfair that I’m blaming them that I can’t go because they don’t want dogs in their homes.

Yet they are also saying it’s “unfair” that I went on a trip with SO’s family recently and I’m not prioritizing my own family.

So now, she just wanted to be honest with them and tell them life’s really not fair.

I had already said I couldn’t go because of the cost and just asked to stay with relatives as a last-ditch effort since they all gave me a hard time about spending more time with SO’s family.

I’m on the verge of telling my mom, aunts, and cousins that life isn’t “fair,” so deal with it.

AITA?

If she can’t bring the dogs, she can’t go. It’s that simple.
